OMG, I want this. Freedom TV has 4,000 [television channels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roku-howdy) from 78 countries! Now I can watch Dancing With The Stars and Sumo Dancing on the Most Dirty Dangerous Mythbuster Job Survivor in the native Bosnian.

FreedomTV says it’s legal… download some software to the ole PC/[Mac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blippo) and start watching. If you’re clever enough, you can hook it to the BATV (Big A$$ TeeVee.) For a [$50 lifetime fee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1-tv), I can watch until the divorce is final, the proceedings of which would start as soon as I start marathon flipping!
